That thing you Do!

"Look there she is..." my heart lept as i saw her in second row in the auditorium. Why i do keep running into her?

There is a vacant seat beside her! Hell!! Since when boys are leaving seats beside pretty girls vacant?

"Okay, i am going to go and sit there" I told my friend, shaking him off. He silently nodded and found another seat. Thats the best thing with we boys, it doesn't matter how much best buddies you guys are, when it comes to girls, they don't mind leaving you alone.

My heart raced as i sat beside her. Heck, i am within two inches distance to her! Can't believe it!!
I can actually hear her breath. I surreptitiously glanced at her. God, i wish i can describe how beautiful she was!! I really do!!

"This is your chance,kid" i told to myself. "Talk to her. Say something funny.Make her laugh"

I raked my brains for about 10 minutes but all the stories i've read, all the jokes i've heard, they betrayed me. I sat there beside her, sweating like a pig!

Damn! she looks so pretty in formals!

Soon i was in damage control mode. May be not necessarily witty or funny, atleast say something! Say HI!

Ask her what her name is!

Ask her what time is it!

Ask her for a pen!

Damn it! say something for heaven's sake!!!!

In my mind, i am vigorously kicking myself and pulling my hair out!

Here i am, sitting beside the girl who keeps me awake in nights ( actually it may be the heat and mosquitioes of ghaziabad,but its more romantic to think this way!) and i can't even say Hi!

Suddenly, i felt a surge of inspiration. I am going to do it!
I turned towards her and opened my mouth. But before any words escaped my mouth, a huge macho guy came and said "Hey S. Lets go to Nescafe and have some coffee!"

"Sure" she said and left the hall. And left me.

I sat there in silence for some time. Then i opened my notebook and started working on the story i am writing.


I hate being a Nerd!
